Been following this forum for months and just signed up yesterday. My passion has been hockey for seventeen years and have just retired from it. So I bought a mint 79 and have rediscovered a new unexpected passion or you might say obsesssion. Wishing you all a great new year.

Welcome Buck ... Vancouver ?

You entered with the knowledge that it is an obsession.
You're gonna fit in fine.

Were you a Vancouver canuck, I am guessing, I love to play hockey as well, but always have a tuff time getting my hockey gear in my vette!

As soon as I figure out how to browse thru this forum I will post pictures of my C3. Keep up the great work. As far as the equipment I have not tried it yet as it is sleeping for the winter.
